PREFACE. 

IT  is  written  in  the  Revelation,  "  I  faw  a 
"  New  Heaven  and  a  New  Earth  ;  for  the 
"  former  Heaven  and  the  former  Earth  were 
"  patted  away.  And  I  faw  the  Holy  City,  New 
"  Jerufalem,  coming  down  from  God  out  of 
"  Heaven,  prepared  as  a  Bride  adorned  for  her 
"  Hufband."  By  thefe  Words  is  not  meant  that 
the  vifible  Heavens  and  habitable  Earth  fhall 
be  diffolved,  and  a  New  Heaven  and  New  Earth 
created,  and  that  the  holy  City  Jerufalem  will  de- 
fcend  upon  the  New  Earth,  according  to  the 
literal  Conftruction  ;  but  by  the  New  Heaven 
and  the  New  Earth  is  meant  a  New  Church  both 
in  Heaven  and  on  Earth  ;  and  by  the  New  Je- 
rufalem defcending  from  God  out  of  Heaven,  is 
fignified  the  heavenly  Doctrine  of  that  Church, 
revealed  by  the  Lord  himfelf.  This  likewife  is 
what  is  fignified  by  the  Second  Coming  of  the 
Lord,  which  confifteth,  not  in  a  perfonal  Ap- 
pearance upon  the  Earth,  but  in  the  Revelation 
of  the  internal  or  fpiritual  Senfe  of  the  Holy 
Word,  whereby  the  human  Mind  is  now  capa- 
ble of  feeing  and  underftanding  the  fpiritual 
Truths  therein  contained  in  a  rational  Manner. 
The  Doctrines  contained  in  the  following 
Form  of  Prayer  are  the  Doctrines  of  the  New 
Church,  being  taken  from  the  Theological  Writ- 
ings of  the  Hon.  Emanuel  Swedenborgh, 
and  when  impartially  and  attentively  examined, 
will  be  found  in  Agreement  with  the  genuine 
Truth  of  the  Holy  Scripture  or  Word  of  God. 
It  is  not,  however,  expected  that  this  Form  ©f 


iv  Preface. 

Prayer  mould  be  confidered  as  perfecT:  or  com- 
plete, much  lefs  is  it  intended  as   the   onh  one 
proper  for  the  New  Church,  it  being  only  adapt- 
ed to    the   prefent  Infant  State  of   that  Church, 
and  designed   to-aflift- thofe  who  are  defirous  of 
worshipping   the  Lord  Jefus  Chrift  as  the  Only 
God   oi  Heaven   and   Earth.     There    will,  no 
Doubt,  be  a  Variety  of  Forms  of  Worfhip   ia 
the   New    Church,    according   to  the  different 
States  and  Complexions  of  Mankind  ;  and  this 
Variety,  fo  far  from  being  any  Evil,  will  rather 
tend  to  the  Harmony  and  Perfection  of  the  whole. 
But  then  in  all  thefe  Differences  the  two  Elfen- 
tials  and  Univerfals  of  the  New  Church  muff  e- 
yer  prevail,  which  are,  I.  That  God  is  One  both 
in  Eflencc  and  in  Perfon,  in  whom  is  a  Divine 
Trinity,  confiding  of  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spi- 
rit, and  that  the  Lord  and  Saviour  Jefus  thrift 
is  that  God.     II.  That   in  order  to   Salvation, 
Man  muff  live  a  Life  according  to  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments, by    fhunning  Evils    as  Sins   againft 
God.  ^  Thefe   two  Effentials   and  Univerfals  of 
Doctrine  enter  into  every  Particular  of  the  New 
Church,  as  the  very  Life  and  Soul  thereof.     So 
that  the  various  Modes  of  worshipping  the  Lord 
an  this  or  that  Society,  whilft  influenced  and  go- 
verned by  thefe  leading  Truths,  will  have  no  o- 
ther  Effect  than  for  the  better  :   For  thus  Unity 
will  be  produced  from  Variety,  and  out  of  many 
.Societies  the  Lord  will  form  one  Church. 

The  Doctrines  of  the  Old  Church  by  no  Means 
agree  with  the  Heavenly  Dodrines  of  the  New 
Church,  as  is  evident  from  a  Comparifon  of  the 
two  EfTentials  of  each.  The  two  Effentials  of 
the  Old  Church  are  as  follow  :  I.  That  there  are 
Three  Perfons  in  the  Godhead,  or  in  other  Words, 


Preface.  I 

that  there  are  Three  Gods.  II.  That  Man  is 
faved  by  Juftification  by  Faith  alone*  And 
thefe  Elfentials  or  Univerfals  of  DodVme  like- 
wile  enter  into  every  Particular  of  the  Old 
Church,  as  the  very  Life  and  Soul  thereof,  every 
Idea,  both  in  Doctrine  and  in  Worihip,  being 
conftantly  influenced  thereby. 

It  is  'for   this  Reafon,  and  on  this  Ground, 
that  the  Members  of  the  New  Jerufalem  Church, 
who  meet   together  in  Great  Eaft  Cheap,  London, 
and  in  other  "Parts  of  the  Kingdom,  cannot  in 
Confcience  join  in  any  of  the  Forms  of  Worihip 
now  in  Ufe    in  the  Old  Church ';    for  '  where   a 
Trinity  of  Perfons  is  worlhipped,  there  the  Lord 
and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrift  is   not  immediately  ap- 
proached as  the  Only  God  of  Heaven  and  Earth  ; 
and  yet  there  is   no  other  God  but  Him,  for  He 
and 'the  Father  are  One,    yea  One  Perfon,  alto- 
gether like  Soul  and  Body  in  Man.     Let  it  not 
therefore  be  accounted  a  Matter  of  fmall  Impor- 
tance, whether  we  worihip  God   in  Three  Per- 
fons, or  in   One   Perfon :    It  is  of  infinite   Mo- 
ment that  we  conceive  a  true  Idea  of  the  Object 
of  Worihip,    feeing  that   all  Conjunction   with 
God  is  effected  by  a  good  Life  according  to  the 
Idea- of  him  in  the  Mind  or  Underftanding. 

By  the  Old  Church  is  meant  the  prefent  Chrif- 
tian  Church  (fo  called)  as  exifting  both  among 
Roman  Catholics' and  Proteftants,  together  with 
all  the  various  Seels  and  Parties,  of  every  De- 
fci iption    or  Denomination,   that   diflent    from 

*  The  Roman  Catholics  do  notfeparate  Faith  from 
Charity,  in  the  fame  Manner  as  the  Proteftants  do  ; 
hut  {till  the  Difference  between  them  conftfts  more  in 
Words,  than  in  Subftance, 


▼i  P  R   E    F  A    C    r. 

them,  and  yet  retain  the  Doftrine  of  a  Trinity 
of  Perfons  in  the  Godhead,  and  feparate  the  Hu. 
inanity  of  the  Lord  from  his  Divinity.    All  thefe 
have  no^ other  Idea  of  a  Trinity  of  Perfons,  than 
that  of  Three  diilind  Gods,  as  may  appear  evi- 
dent to  any  one  who  attentively  examines  the 
Matter.     They  indeed  Jay,  that  the  Three  Per- 
fons are   but  one  God  j  but  the  Lip-Confeflion 
of  One  God  does  not,  neither  can  it  extirpate  the 
Idea  rooted  in  the  Mind  of  Three.     For    who 
thinks  otherwife,  or  can  think   otherwife,  that 
from  the  cuftomary  Form  of  Faith  prays,  *'  That 
™  God  the  Father  for  the  Sake  of  the  Son,  would 
"fend the  Holy  Spirit  ?"  Is  not  this  praying  to  God 
the  Father  as  to  one   God,  and  for  the  Sake  of 
the  Son  as  another  God,  and  concerning  the  Hor 
]y  Spirit  as  a  Third  God?   Whence  it  evidently 
appears,  that  notwithfranding  any  one  may  ima*- 
gine,  and  even  afTert  that  Three  Divine  Perfons 
conftitute  but  One  God,  yet    he  adually  forms 
to   himfelf,  in    his  Idea,    the  Pidure    of  Three 
cliftinft  Gods,  whenfoever  he  fo  prays. 

The  fame  Form  of  Prayer  alfo  divides  the 
Lord  as  it  were  into  two  Perfons,  by  feparating 
his  Humanity  from  his  Divinity  ;  for  when  Man 
prays  in  fuch  a  Manner,  he  then  only  thinks  of 
the  Humanity  of  the  Lord,  and  not  at  the  fame 
Time  of  his  Divinity.  This  is  plain  from  the 
Signification  of  the  Words,  "fir  the  Sake  tf  the 
Son,"  which  mean  for  the  Sake  of  his  Humanity, 
that  fuffered  the  Death  of  the  Crofs. 

They  who  divide  God  into  Three  Perfons,  and 
adhere  to  thefe  Words  of  the  Athanafian  Creed, 
"  7  here  is  one  Per  Jon  of  the  Father,  another  of  the 
"  Son,  and  another  of  the  Holy  Ghojl  ;*'  and  alfo  to 
thefe  Words,  «  The  Father  is  God,  the  Sm  is 


P  r  e  f  a  c  r.  vii 

JJ  Gad,  and  the  Holy  Ghoji  is  God,"  cannot  i$}ake 
One  God  of  Three  Perfons :  They  can  indeed  fay, 
that  they  arc  One  God,  but  they  cannot  think 
{a.  In  like  Manner,  they  who  think  of  th$ 
pivinity  of  the  Lord  from  Eternity  as  of  a  Second 
Perfon  of  the  Divinity,  and  of  his  Humanity  ia 
Time  as  of  the  Humanity  of  another  Man,  canT 
not  but  fuppofe  that  the  Lord  confifts  of  Two 
Perfons,  notwithstanding  it  is  afTerted  in  the  A- 
thanafian  Creed,  that  his  Divinity  and  Humanity- 
are  One  Perfon,  united  like  Soul  and  Body.  For 
if,  as  they  fay,  Jefus  Chrift  was  as  to  his  Divini- 
ty a  feparate  Perfon  before  all  Worlds  ;  and  if 
the  Humanity,  which  he  aiTumed  in  Time,  was 
alfo  a  new  Perfon,  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary  ; 
and  again,  if  his  Divinity  and  Humanity  are  frill 
feparate,  as  they  erroneoufly  afTert ;  then  it  is 
plain,  that  they  form  to  themfelves  an  Idea  of 
the  Lord  as  of  two  Perfons,  which,  by  a  certain 
.Kind  of  confufe^,  Union,  called  the  hypoflatic  U- 
nion,  are  blended  together  into  what  they  call  the 
fecond  Perfon,  in  the  Trinity — fuch  are  the  falfe 
Reafonings  in  the  Chriftian  Church  concerning 
the  Perfon  of  the  Lord  ;  when  yet  it  ought  to  be 
the  fundamental  Conftituent  of  all  Doctrine, 
that  God  is  One  both  in  EfTence  and  Perfon,  that 
the  Lord  Jefus  Chrift  is  that  One  God,  and  that 
his  Divine  Humanity  is  thefole  Object  of  all  A- 
doration. 

From  what  has  beenfaid,  it  is  plain,  that  the 
Faith  of  the  prefent  or  Old  Church  affumes  two 
Faces,  the  one  internal,  and  the  other  external. 
The  internal  Face  is  formed  from  the  mental  Per- 
ception of  Three  Gods,  and  the  external  from  the 
oral  Confeffion  of  One  God  ;  thus  they  are  at  Va- 
riance with  each  other,  fo  that  the  External  is 


\m  P   £    E    F    A    C    1. 

not  acknowledged  by  the  Internal,  nor  is  the  In- 
ternal acknowledged  by  the  External.  Hence  a- 
rifes  a  coufufed  Idea  in  the  Miwds  of  Men  con- 
cerning Matters  of  Salvation,  for  which  no  Re- 
medy can  be  'found,  while  it  is  a  prevailing  MaxT 
im,  that  the  Underftanding  mull  not  dare  to  ex- 
amine its  Faith,  but  mutt  fubmit  in  blind  Obe- 
dience to  it's  irrational  Dictates.  But  the  Cafe 
is  widely  different,  when  the  One  God  Jefus 
Chrift,  in  whom  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  is  directly 
approached  and  woribipped  :  Then  the  Percep- 
tion of  the  Mind  and  the  Confeflion  of  the 
-Mouth  mutually  regard  each  other  as  one  :  Then 
alfo  the  received  Dogma,  that  the  Father  was 
alienated  from  Mankind,  and  that  his  Wrath 
was  appeafed  by  the  Satisfaction  which  the  Son 
made  by  atoning  Blood,  is  found  to  be  a  mere 
Spectre  of  the  Night,  which  vanifheth  at  the 
Light  of  the  Morning. 

Every  Pei  fori  of  enlightened  Reafon  may  know 
that  God  is  One,  and  that  there  can  be  no  other 
but  Him.  He  may  alfo  know  that  God  is  effen- 
tial  Love  and  eifential  Wifdom,  or  that  he  is 
Goodnefs  itfelf  and  Truth  itfelf;  and  that  the 
felffame  God  as  to  Divine  Truth,  which  is  the 
Word,  came  down  from  Heaven,  and  aflumed 
a  HUMANITY  in  order  to  remove  the  Hells, 
and  confequently  to  remove  Damnation  from 
Man  ;  that  he  affected  this  by  Combats  and  Vic- 
tories over  the  Devil,  that  is,  over  all  the  Hells, 
which  at  that  Time  infefied  and  fpiritually  de- 
ftroyed  every  Man  coming  into  the  World;  and 
that  afterwards  he  fully  GLORIFIED  his  HU- 
MANITY, by  uniting  in  It  Divine  Truth  with 
Divine  Good,  and  thus  returning  to  the  Father 
from  whom  he  came  forth.  When  thefe  Things 


Preface.  ix 

are  rationally  perceived,  then  will  that  Saying  in 
John  be  underftood,  "  The  Word  zuas  ivith  Gcdt 
"  and  Gcd  was  the  Word;  and  the  Word  became 
"  Fle/b"  Chap.  i.  I,  14.  And  likewife  this,  "  / 
u.  came  forth  from  the  Father,  and  am  come  into  the 
«*  World;  again  I  leave  the  World,  and  go  to  the  Fa- 
"  ther,"  Chap.  xvi.  28.  Hence  alio  it  is  evident, 
that  without  the  Lord's  coining  into  the  World, 
110  Flefh  could  be  faved,  and  that  they  are  faved 
who  believe  in  Him,  and  live  a  good  Life. 
This  is  the  Frontifpiece  of  the  Faith  of  the 
New  Church.  And  by  this  Faith  united  with 
Chanty,  or  a  Life  according  to  the  Command- 
ments, Conjunction  with  the  Lord  is  efie&ed* 
which  is  Salvation  and  eternal  Life. 


As  the  Worfhip  of  every  Church  ought  to  be 
according  to  it's  Underftanding  of  the  Word,  it 
is  confidered  as  highly  neceffary  that  the  princi- 
pal Doctrines  of  the  New  Church  fhould  be 
plainly  avowed  in  it's  Form  of  Prayer.  For  this 
Reafon  a  few  Alterations  have  been  made  in  the 
prefent  Edition,  in  order  to  make  the  Whole  not  on- 
ly more  ftri&ly  confiftent  with  the  genuine  Senfe 
of  trie  holy  Word, but  alfo  more  fully  characterise 
of  this  new  Difpenfation  of  Divine  Truth.  The 
Lord's  Prayer  and  Ten  Commandments  are 
ftrictly  rendered  according  to  the  original  Greek 
and  Hebrew,  whereby  the  Correfpondences  in 
each  particular  Word  may  be  more  clearly  dis- 
cerned, and  the  Conjunction  between  their  fpi ri- 
tual and  natural  Senfes  more  fully  effected.  In 
the  former  Editions,  at  the  End  of  each  Com- 
mandment, a  Refponfe  was  directed  to  be  made 


x  Preface. 

by  the  Congregation:  But  on  confidering  that 
fuch  a  Practice  is  an  Interruption  to  the  Solem- 
nity of  that  Part  of  the  Service,  it  has  been  deem- 
ed proper,  by  a  General  Conference  of  the  New 
Church,  to  difcontinue  in  future  the  Refponfes 
at  the  End  of  each  Commandment,  and  only  ti> 
make  Ufe  of  one  after  the  Tenth. 

]  t  may  be  neceffary  here  to  obferve,  that  the 
New  Church,    confidering  thofe  Books  only  to 
be  genuine  Books  of  the  Word,  which  contain 
the  Internal  Senfe,  and  thereby  treat  of  the  Lord 
alone,  and  of  the  molt  holy  Things  of  Heaven 
and  the  Church,  has  accordingly  introduced  them 
into  her  Service   as  ftated  Leflbns  for  the  Day, 
in  the  Order  marked  in   the  Calendar.     Thefe 
canonical  Books,  or  Books  of  Divine  Authority, 
are  the  following,  viz.  in  the  Old  Teitament,  the 
five  Books  of  Mofes,    called  Genefis,   Exodus, 
Leviticus,  Numbers  and  Deuteronomy;  the  Book 
©f  Jolhua,  the  Book  of  Judges,  the  two  Books 
'of  Samuel,  the  two  Books  of  Kings,  the  Pfalms 
cf  David,  the  Prophets,  Ifaiah,    Jeremiah,  La- 
mentations, Ezekiel,  Daniel,  Hofea,  Joel,  Amos, 
Obadiah,  Jonah,    Micah,    Nahum,    Habakkuk, 
"Zephaniah,  Haggai,  Zachariah,  Malachi :  And 
in  the  New  Teitament,    the  four  Evan^elifts, 
Matthew,  Mark,  Luke,  John,  and  the  Revela- 
tion.    The  other  Books,    which  have  not  the 
Divine  internal   Senfe,  as  well  as  thofe  which 
have  an  internal  Senfe,  but  not  in  Series,  are  ne- 
verthelefs  ufeful  in  their  Place,  fo  far  as  they  in- 
culcate the  great  Doctrine  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
Doctrine  of  Chanty. 

In  the  Forms  for  the  Adminiftration  of  Bap- 
tifm,  it  was  alfo  unanimcufly  aereed,  that,  in 
•rder  to  open  the  Gates  of  the  New  Jerufalem 


Pre  fag  e.  xi 

as  wide  as  poflible,  the  only  Conditions  of  Ad- 
million  by  Baptifm  be  an  Acknowledgment  oi 
the  two  ElTentials  of  the  New  Church,  which 
are  therefore  inferted  in  the  two  .Forms  of  Bap- 
tifm, inftead  of  the  Creed. 

Let  it  alio  be  obferved,  that  Baptifm  by  Sprin- 
kling, and  not  Immeriion,  is  adopted  by  the 
New  Church,  as  being  mod  convenient,  although 
the  latter  Mode  is  not  at  all  condemned.  It  is 
fufficient  to  pour  or  fprinkle  Water  on  the  Fore- 
head, as  the  Forehead  correfponds  to  the  Interi- 
ors of  Man  ;  and  the  Sprinkling  of  Water  there- 
on, is  fignificative  of  internal  Regeneration. 

The  New  Church  conllders  it  unnecelFary  te 
have  God-fathers  and  Godrmothers  in  Baptifm,  as 
it  is  by  no  Means  an  eftential  Part  of  that  Inftitu- 
tion,  but  may  in  fome  Cafes  operate  as  a  Check 
upon  the  Baptizing  of  Infants.  Moreover,  we 
are  taught  in  the  holy  Scriptures  to  call  no  Man 
Father  in  the  fpiritual  Senfe.oi  that  Word  ;  "  for 
one  is  our  Father  which  is  in  Heaven,"  Matt, 
xxiii.  9.  The  Lord  alone  is  the  Father  of  all 
who  are  regenerated,  or  born  again  ;  and  the 
Church,  or  Doctrine  drawn  from  the  Word,  is 
their  Mother.  Therefore  in  this  Senfe  no  other 
ought  to  be  acknowledged  as  our  God-father  but 
the  Lord  ;  and  no  other  as  our  God-mother  but 
the  Word,  and  the  New-Church,  which  is  the 
Lamb's  Wife,  Rev.  xix,  7,  9.  Chap,  xxi, 
2,  9.

throughout  the  Uuued  States. 

We  are  oi  Opinion  that  this  Form  of  Prayer 
is  drawn  from    the  holy  Word,  and   is    adj  lifted 
to  preferve  the  Dodui.<  es  of  the  New  Church  in 
their  Purity — and  it  is  at  the  fame  Time  a  power- 
ful Guard  a-gatr)ft  the  Introduction  oi  any  Herefy. 
It  is  expeded  that  the  Ufe  of    a   proper   For- 
mula,   in    public   Worfhip,  has  a  Tendency  to 
implant   in   the    Minds  of  Children    anu   young 
People,  true  Ideas  of  the  One  Object  of  divine 
Adoration,  to  familiarize  them  with   the  Word 
of  God  and  his  holy  Commandments  ;  and  thus 
to   lay  the   Foundation    of  their  future  fpiritual 
Life  on  Chrift  alone,  who  is  the  Rock  of  A^es. 
Some  Members  of  the  Old  Church  fay,  that 
there  is  fuch  a  Gift,  or  Spirit  of  Prayer  bellowed 
by  the  Holy  Gholt  on  true  Chrifti'ans,  as  ena- 
bles them  to  addrefs  Heaven  on  all  Occafions  co- 
pioufly   and  fuitably,  in   unpremeditated  Words 
of  their  own,  which  they  think  ought  not  to  be 
reftrained   by  appointing  Forms  of  Prayer,  even 
for  the  public  Ufe  of  Congregations.     However, 
this  Opinion  is  difcountenanced  even  by  the  Rev. 
Mr.  John  Calvjn  ;  for  he  wrote  to  the  Pro- 
tector   of   England    under    Edw.   VI.  in   thefe 
Words  :   "  As  to  a  Form  of  Prayer  and   of  Ec- 
"  clefiaftical    Rites,    I    highly    approve    that    it 
"  fhould  be  certain  ;  from  which  it  inay  not  be 
w  lawful  for  any  Miniiter  to  depart — as  well  in 
'«•  Confideration  of  the  Weaknefs  and  Ignorance 
if  cf  fome,  as  that  it  may  more  plainly  appear, 


Preface.  xlii 

«  how  eur  Churches  agree  among  themfelves— 
"  and  laftly,  that  a  Stop  may  be  put  to  the  Gid- 

"  dinefs  of  thofe  who  afreet  Novelties/* 

We  find  Forms  of  Prayer  prefented  on  feveral 
Qccafions  in  the  Law  of  Mofes,  Num.  vi.  22, 
23.  Deut.  xxi.  7.  xxvi.  13.  The  Pfa'Ims  of  Da- 
vid is  a  whole  Book  of  Forms.  The  Jewifli 
Synagogue  ufed  a  Form,  Luke  xi.  2.  Nay,  at 
the  very  Time  when  the  Gift  of  infpired  Prayer 
was  common,  there  is  a  ftrong  Appearance  in 
the  iv.  Chap,  of  the  A£ts,  that  the  Apoftles  and 
their  Followers  ufed  a  Form  then  let  down  :  Foe 
how  elfe  could  they  "  lift  up  their  Voices  and  fay 
with  one  Accord"  as  Verfe  24  allures  us  they  did  £ 
Hence  it  may  be  prefumed  that  extemporary 
Prayer  is  a  modern  Idea.  It  is  equally  faid,  "  I 
will  pray  with  the  Spirit,  and  I  will  fing  with 
the  Spirit."  Without  Scruple,  at  public  and 
focial  Worfhip,  all  ufe  Pfalms  and  Hymns ; 
which  undoubtedly  are  Forms  of  human  Com- 
pofition. 

Reader— The  Promoters  of  this  Edition  were? 
induced  thereto  on  a  Belief  that  the  Lord  Jefus 
Chrift  is  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Spirit  ;  that  on 
the  Confummation  of  the  Old  Church,  He  de- 
parted from  it,  and  takes  up  His  Abode  in  the 
New  Church — Gn  this  Confideration  we  da> 
mod  earneftly  recommend  the  Theological  Writ- 
ings of  Baron  Em  an.  Swedenborg,  believing 
that  he  was  divinely  infpired  to  write  for  the  Ufe 
of  the  New  Jerufaiem  Church.

I  faw  the  Holy  City,  New  Jerufalem,  coming 
down  from  God  out  of  Heaven,  prepared  as  a 
Bride  adorned  for  her  Hufband  ;  and  I  heard  a 
great  Voice  out  of  Heaven  faying,  Behold,  the 
Tabernacle  of  God  is  with  Men,  and  He  will 
dwell  with  them.  And  he  that  fat  upon  the 
Throne  faid,  Behold  I  make  all  things  New. 
And  the  Angel  talked  with  me,  and  faid,  Come 
hither,  I  will  mew  thee  the  Bride,  the  Lamb's, 
Wife  ;  and  he  carried  me  away  in  the  Spirit  to 
a  great  and  high  Mountain,  and  mewed  me  that 
great  City,  the  Holy  Jerufalem.  Rev.  xxi.  1,  2, 
3,  5>  9,  10. 

I  Jefus  am  the  bright  and  Morning  Star  ;  and

thy  God  in  vain;  for  Jehovah   will  not  render, 
him  innocent  that  taketh  his  Name  in  vain. 
,   III.  Remember  the  Day  of  Sabbath,  to  fane- 
t|fy  it.     Six  Days  fhalt  thou  labour,  and  do  all 
thy  Work.     And  the  feventh  Day  is  a  Sabbath 
to  Jehovah  thy  God.     Thou   fhalt   not  do  any 
Work,    thou,  and  thy  Son,  and  thy  Daughter, 
thy   Man-Servant,    and  thy  Maid- Servant,    and, 
thy    Bead,  and    thy    Stranger   which    is    in   thy- 
Gates.     For  in  Six  Days  Jehovah  made  Heaven 
and  Earth,  the  Sea,  and  ail  that  is  in  them,  and 
re/fed   in   the   feventh   Day  ;    therefore  Jehovah 
blefled  the  Day. of  Sabbath,  and  fan&ified  it. 

IV.  Honour  thy  Father  and  thy  Mother,  to 
the  End  that  thy  Days  may  be  prolonged  upon 
the  Land,  which  Jehovah  thy  God  giveth  thee.

4  Now  follows  the  Creed  of  the  New  Church,  to  be 
Ja'idby  the  Minifter  and  People  together,  aUJiandmg. 

I  BELIEVE  that  Jehovah  God,  the  Creator 
of  Heaven  and  Earth,  is  one  in  EfTence  and 
in  Perfon,  in  whom  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  confin- 
ing of  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,  and  that  the 
Lord  and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrift  is  that  God. 

I  believe  that  Jehovah  God  himfelf  came  down 

from  Heaven  as   Divine  Truth,  which  is  the 

Word,  and  took  upon  him  Human  Nature,  for 

*Vhefe  inclojed  Words  are  "only  to  befaid-whm 

anydeftre  thePrayencftfo  Congregation. 


*o  Liturgy  of  the  New  Church. 

the  Purpofe  of  removing  Hell  from  Man,  of  re- 
ftoring  the  Heavens  to  Order,  and  of  preparing 
the  Way  for  a  New  Church  upon  Earth  ;  and 
that  herein  confifts  the  true  Nature  of  Redemp- 
tion, which  was  efFeaed  folely  by  the  Omnipo- 
tence of  the  Lord's  DIVINE  HUMANITY. 

I  believe  in  the  San&ity  of  the  Word,  and 
that  it  containeth  a  three-fold  Senfe,  namely, 
Celeftial,  Spiritual,  and  Natural,  which  are  u- 
nited  by  Correfpondences  ;  and  that  in  each  Senfe 
it  is  Divine  Truth,  accommodated  refpedively 
to  the  Angels  of  the  Three  Heavens,  and  alfo 
to  Men  on  Earth. 

I  believe  that  evil  Aclions  ought  not  to  be 
done,  becaufe  they  are  of  the  Devil,  and  from 
the  Devi). 

I  believe  that  good  Actions  ought  to  be  done, 
becaufe  they  are  of  God,  and  from  God  :  And 
that  they  fnould  be  done  by  Man,  as  of  Himfelf  ; 
tteverthelefs,  under  this  Acknowledgment  and 
Belief,  that  they  are  from  the  Lord,  operating 
-with  him  and  by  him. 

I  believe,  that  immediately  on  the  Death  of 
the  material  Body  (which  will  never  be  re-af- 
fumed)  Manrifes  again  as  to  his  fpiritual  orfub- 
ftantial  Body,  wherein  he  exifteth  in  a  perfect 
human  Form  ;  and  thus  that  Death  is  only  a 
Continuation  of  Life. 

I  believe  that  the  Laft  Judgment  is  accom- 
plished in  the  Spiritual  World,*  and  that  the  for- 
mer Heaven  and  the  former  Earth,  or  the  Old 
Church,  are  palled  away,  and  that  all  Things 
are  become  New. 

f  See  the  Treat'tje  on  the  Lajl  Judgment,  rj.  45  &

Morning  Service.  4* 

I  .believe  that  Now  is  the  Second  Advent  of 
the  Lord,  which  is  a  Coming,  not  m  Perion. 
but  in  the  Power  and  Glory  of  thefmntual Sirf* 
of  his  holy  Word,  which  is  Himleif.  And  1- 
believe  that  the  holy  City,  New  Jerufalenn ,  * 
now  deicending  from  God  out  of  Heaven,  pre 
pared  as  a  Bride  adorned  for  her  Hufband. 

And  the  Spirit  and  the  Bride  fay,  Come.  And- 
let  him  that  heareth  fay,  Come  And  let  him 
that  is  athirfl,  Come.  And  whofcever  will,  let 
him  take  the  Water  of  Life  freely.  Amen,.

that  herein  confifts  the  true  Nature  of  Redemp- 
tion, which  was  effected  folely  by  the  Omnipo- 
tence of  the  Lord's  DIVINE  HUMANITY. 
I  believe  in  the  Sanctity  of  the  Word,  and 
that  it  containeth  a  three-fold  Senfe,  namely, 
Celeftial,  Spiritual,  and  Natural,  which  are  u- 
nitedby  Correfpondences  ;  and  that  in  each  Senfe 
it  is  Divine  Truth,  accommodated  refpeclively 
to  the  Angels  of  the  Three  Heavens,  and  alfo 
to  Men  on  Earth. 

I  believe  that  evil  Actions  ought  not  to  be 
done,  becaufe  they  are  of  the  Devil,  and  from 
the  Devil. 

I  believe  that  good  Actions  ought  to  be  done, 
becaufe  they  are  of  God,  and  from  God  :  And 
that  they  mould  be  done  by  Man,  as  of  Himfelf  ; 
neverthelefs,  under  this  Acknowledgment  and 
Belief,  that  they  are  from  the  Lord,  operating 
with  him  and  by  him. 

I  believe  that  immediately  on  the  Death  of 
the  material  Body  (which  will  never  be  re-af- 
fumed)  Man  rifes  again  as  to  his  fpiritual  orfub- 
ftantial  Body,  wherein  he  exifteth  in  a  perfect 
human  Form  ;  and  thus  that  Death  is  only  a 
Continuation  of  Life. 

I  believe  that  the  Laft  Judgment  is  accom- 
plifhed  in  the  Spiritual  World,*  and  that  the  for- 
mer Heaven  and  the  former  Earth,  or  the  Old 
Church,  are  pafied  away,  and  that  all  Things 
are  become  New. 

I  believe  that  Now  is  the  Second  Advent  of 
the  Lord,  which  is  a  Coming,  not  in  Perfon, 
but  in  the  Power  and  Glory  of  the  fpiritual  Senfe

of  his  holy  Wo?1,  which  is  Himfelf.  And  I 
believe  that  the  Holy  City,  New  Jerufalem,  is 
now  defcending  from  God  out  of  Heaven,  pre- 
pared as  a  Bride  adorned  for  her  Hufband. 


And  the  Spirit  and  the  Bride  fay,  Come.  And 
let  him  that  heareth  fay,  Come.  And  let  him 
that  is  athirft,  Come.  And  whofoevcr  will,  let

The    FORM   of   the 

Adminiftration  of 

BAPTISM  to  INFANTS, 

In  the  New  Church. 


tj  A  Bafori  of  pure  JVater  being  placed  on  the  Table, 
and  the  Child  to  be  baptized  being  prefent,  the 
Minijler  is  to  begin  with  the  Lord's  Prayer. 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  the  Heavens  ;  Hal- 
lowed be  thy  Name.  Thy  Kingdom  come. 
Thy  Will  be  done,  as  in  Heaven,  To  alfo  upon 
Earth.  Give  us  this  Day  our  daily  Bread.  And 
forgive  us  our  Debts,  as  we  alfo  forgive  our 
Debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  Temptation,  but 
deliver  us  from  Evil :  For  thine  is  the  Kingdom, 
and  the  Power,  and  the  Glory,  for  Ages.  Amen. 

fl  Then  the  Minijler  is  to  read  as  follows. 

FORASMUCH  as  the  Order  wherein 
Man  was  originally  created,  has  been  per- 
verted and  .  deftroyed  by  the  Abufe  of  his 
Free- Will,  and  in  Confequence  thereof  we  are 
all  born  in  the  Love  of  Self  and  of  the  World  ; 
and  fince  no  one  can  enter  into  the  Kingdom 
of  God,  except  he  be  regenerate,  and  born 
again  of  Water  and  of  the  Spirit,  that  is,  by 
the  Truths  of  Faith*  and  a  Life  in  Confor- 
mity to  them  j   therefore  JBaptifm  was  iaftitut- 


Bapttfm  of  Infants.  55 

eel  by  the  Lord  as  a  Sign  and  Memorial  that 
Man  may  be  purified  from  his  Evils  and 
Falfes,  and  thereby  become  regenerate.  Thus 
the  Lord  was  pleafed  to  fuffer  himfelf  to  be 
baptized  by  John,  in  Token  that  his  HUMA- 
NITY was  to  be  GLORIFIED,  for  hereby 
was  all  Right-eoufnefs  fulfilled  in  his  own  Di- 
vine Perfon. 

By  the  Waters  of  Baptifm  are  alfo  figni- 
fied  Temptations,  or  fpiritual  Conflicts  again  ft 
Evils  and  Faifes  ;  for  Purification  and  Rege- 
neration can  only  be  effected  by  Means  of  Temp- 
tations. And  inafmuch  as  Baptifm  is  for  a 
Sign  and  Memorial  of  fuch  Things,  it  may 
lawfully  be  adminiftered  to  Infants,  ortf  negle<9> 
cd  at  that    Age,  to  Adults. 

The  firft  Ufe  of  Baptifm  is  Introduction  in- 
to the  Chrifiian  Church,  and  Tnfertion  at  the 
fame  Time  amongfl  Chriftians  in  the  Spiri- 
tual World.  Baptifm  itfelf,  however,  is  only  a 
Sign  of  Introduction  into  the  Church,  as  is  e- 
vident  from  the  Baptizing  of  Infants,  before 
they  come  to  the  Ufe  of  Reafon,  and  confe- 
quently  before  they  are  capable  of  receiving 
any  Thing  relating  to  Faith.  Yet  this  Sign 
is  perceived  in  the  Chriftian  Heaven,  and  there- 
upon Guardian-Angels  are  appointed  over  thera 
by  the  Lord,  to  take  care  of  them  ;  wherefore 
as  foon  as  Infants  are  baptized,  they  are  plac- 
ed under  the  Care  of  Guardian-Angels,  by 
whom  they  are  kept  in  a  State  of  receiving 
Faith  in  the  Lord  ;  and  as  they  grow  up,  and 
become  capable  of  thinking  and  acting  forthem- 
felves,  they  draw  into  Alfociation  with  them 
fuch  Spirits  as  make  one  with  their  Life  and 
Faith.     Hence  it  is  evident,  that  Baptifm  is 


r6  Baptifm    of  Infants  ' 

an  Infertion  amongft  Chriftians,  even  in  the. 
Spiritual  World;  and  that  the  Per fon  baptiz- 
ed, afterwards  becomes  ailbciated  with  the  Spi- 
rits of  this  or  that  Society,  according  to  the 
Quality    of  his  Life    and    Faith. 

The  fecoxdUfe  ofBaptiim  is,  that  the  Per- 
fon  baptized  may  know  and  acknowledge  the 
Lord  and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrilt,  and  fallow  him. 
This  Acknowledgment  confifts  in  a  firm  Belief 
that  He  is  the  Only  God  ot  Heaven  and  Earth,, 
the  Creator,  Redeemer,  and  Regenerator  ;  that 
in  Him  there  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  confining 
of  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,  like  Soul, 
Body,  and  Operation  in  Man  \  and  alfo  in  a  Lite 
of  Obedience  to    his    Commandments. 

The  third  and  final  Ufe  of  Baptifm  is,  that 
Man  may  be  regenerated  ;  in  which  Cafe  he 
is  baptized  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  or  with  Fire  ; 
that  is,  he  is  admitted  into  Allbciation  either 
with  the  Angels  of  the  Lord's  Spiritual  Kingdom, 
or  with  thofe  of  his  celeftial  Kingdom  j  and 
after  Death  he  himfelf  becometh  either  a  fpi- 
ritual  or  a  celeftial  Angel. 

Now,  whereas  thefe  three  Ufes  follow  each 
ether  in  Order,  and  join  with  each  other  in 
the  ultimate  or  laft  Ufe,  and  coefequently  in 
the  Idea  of  Angels  cohere  together  as  one, 
therefore  whenfoever  Baptifm  is  performed,  or 
read  in  the  Word,  or  named,  the  Angels  who 
are  prefent  do  not  underftand  Baptifm,  but  Re- 
generation. Wherefore,  by  thefe  Words  of  the 
Lord,  "  Whofoever  believeth,  and  is  baptized, 
ftall  be  faved,"  is  underftood  by  the  Angels 
in  Heaven,  that  whofoever  acknowledgeth  the 
Lord,  and  is  regenerated,  will  be  faved.  Be 
it  known  therefore  to  every  Chriftian,that  who. 


/;;  the  New  Church.  57 

foever  doth  not  believe  on  the  Lord,  and  keep 
his  Commandment?,  cannot  be  regenerated, 
nctwith'ianding  his  having  been  baptized;  and 
that  being  baptized,  without  Faith  in  the  Lord, 
is  of  no  Avail;  ior  Baptifm  itfelf  neither  giv- 
cth  Faith,  nor  Salvation,  but  is  a  Teitimony 
to  fuch  as  are  baptized,  that  they  may  receive 
Faith,  arid  that  they  may  be  faved,  if  they  are 
regenerate. 

*[  After    which  the    M'mijler  is    to  fay. 
Let    us    pray. 

ALMIGHTY  and  everlafting  Lord,  our 
heavenly  Father,  who  dolt,  invite  little 
Children  to  be  brought  unto  thee,  that  they 
may  receive  thy  Buffing,  and  be  made  Par- 
takers of  thy  eternal  Kingdom,  we  befeech  thee, 
favourably  to  receive  this  Infant  now  prefent- 
cd  before  thee;  admit  him  into  the  Fellowship 
and  Communion  of  thy  New  Church,  embrace 
him  with  the  Arms  of  thy  Divine  Mercy, 
and  give  thy  Holy  Spirit  unto  him  ;  that  be- 
ing enrolled  by  Baptifm  among  the  Number  of 
thofe  who  acknowledge  the  DIVINITY  of 
thy  HUMANITY,  and  who  rejoice  in  the  Glo- 
ry of  thy  Second  Advent,  he  may  hereafter  de- 
ny himfelf  and  take  up  his  Crofs,  by  refift- 
ing  the  Loves  of  Self  and  of  the  World,  and

hereafter  be  initiated  into  the  Acknowledgment 
and  true  Worftiip  of  the  Lord,  agreeable  to  the

-«  Then  the  Minifer  returning  the  Child,  gives  the 
following  Exhortation  to  the  Parents  or  Friends 
of  the   Child. 

I  Earnestly  exhort  you,  who  have  the  Care 
of  this  Child,  to  take  Charge  of  his  Edu- 
cation, and  as  far  as  lies  in  your  Power,  to 
fee  that   he  be    properly  inftru&ed  in  the  Prin-

Heavenly  Do&nnes  of  the  New  Jerulalem, 
as  revealed  by  the  Lord  in  the  Writings  of 
his  Servant  Emanuel  Swcdenborr,  but  parti- 
cularly fee  that  he  learn  by  heart  the  Lord's 
Prayer,  the  Ten  Commandments,  and  'he 
Creed  of  the  New  Church.  Teach  him  the 
Necemty  of  fhunning  continually  all  Evils  as 
Sins  againft  God,. and  by  renouncing  the  1 
of  Self  and  the  World,,  of  loving  the  Lord  a- 
hove  all  Things,  and  bis  Neighbour  as  ■  / 
So   will   you   be   preparing  for  Us    I  [J   jn

World  to  co  ne. 

f  Then   tbtJMinijier  is    to    repeat  the  fJl0Ww* 
Tharikjgiving  and  Prayer, 

WE  give  thee  molt  humble  an  J  hearty 
Thanks,  O  heavenly  Father,  tiiat  thou

Thi    FORM   of  the 

Adminiftration  of 

BAPTISM  to   ADULTS, 

In  the  New  Church. 

— >o#o-o— 

-f  A  Bafon  of  pure  JVater  being  placed  9n  the  Table, 
and  the  Perfon  to  be  baptized  being  prefent,  the 
Minifier  is  to  begin  with  the  Lord's  Prayer. 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  the  Heavens  ;  Hal- 
lowed be  thy  Name.  Thy  Kingdom  come. 
Thy  Will  be  done,  as  in  Heaven,  fo  alfo  upon 
Earth.  Giv'e  us  this  Day  our  daily  Bread.  And 
forgive  us  our  Debts,  as  we  alfo  forgive  our 
Debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  Temptation,  but 
deliver  us  from  Evil  :  For  thine  is  the  Kingdom, 
and  the  Power,  and  the  Glory/ for  Ages.  Amen. 

*[  Then  the  Minifier  is  to  read  as  follows. 

FORASMUCH  as  the  Order  wherein 
Man  was  originally  created,  has  been  per- 
verted and  deftroyed  by  the  Abufe  of  his 
Free- Will,  and  in  Confequence  thereof  we  are 
all  born  in  the  Love  of  Self  and  of  the  World  \ 
and  fince  no  one  can  enter  into  the  Kingdom 
of  God,  except  he  be  regenerate,  and  born 
again  of  Water  and  o£> the  Spirit,  that  is,  by 
the  Truths  of  Faith,  and  a  Life  in  Confor- 
mity tt  thorn;  therefore Baptifia  was  mftitv*- 


Bapttjm  of  Adults.  k% 

id  by  the  Lord  as  a  Sign  and  Memorial  that 
Man  may  be  purified  from  his  Evils  ani 
Falfes,  and  thereby  become  regenerate.  Thus 
the  Lord  was  pleafed  to  fuffer  himfelf  to  be 
baptized  by  John,  in  Token  that  his  HUMA- 
NITY was  to  be  GLORIFIED,  for  hereby 
was  all  Righteoufnefs  fulfilled  in  his  own  Di- 
vine Perfon. 

By  the  Waters  of  Baptifm  are  alfo  figni- 
fied  Temptations,  or  fpiritual  Conflicts  againft 
Evils  and  Falfes  ;  for  Purification  and  Rege- 
neration can  only  be  effected  by  Means  of  Temp- 
tations. And  inafmuch  as  Baptifm  is  for  a 
Sign  and  Memorial  of  fuch  Things,  therefore 
it  may  lawfully  be  adminiftered  to  Infants,  or  if 
Begle&ed  at  that   Age,  to  Adults. 

The  firft  Ufe  of  Baptifm  is  Introduction  in- 
to the  Chriftian  Church,  and  Infertion  at  the 
fame  Time  amongft  Chriftians  in  the  Spiri- 
tual World.  Baptifm  iifelf,  however,  is  only  a 
Sign  of  Introduction  into  the  Church:  Yet  this 
Sign  is  perceived  in  the  Chriftian  Heaven,  and 
the  Perfon  baptized  is  thereby  diftinguifhed  in 
the  Spiritual  World,  according  to  the  Quality  of 
the  Faith  he  profeffes,  and  at  the  fame  Time  ac- 
cording to  the  Quality  of  his  Life. 

The  fecond  Ufe  of  Baptifm  is,  that  the  Per- 
fon baptized  may  know  and  acknowledge  the 
Lord  and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrift,  and  follow  hiiru 
This  Acknowledgment  confifts  in  a  firm  Belief 
that  He  is  the  Only  God  of  Heaven  and  Earth, 
the  Creator,  Redeemer,  and  Regenerator  ;  that 
in  Him  there  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  confifting 
of  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,  like  Soul, 
Body,  and  Operation  in  Man  ;  and  alfo  in  a  Life 
«f  Obedience  %g.  &s   Comoiajjd»ents« 


64  Bnptifm  of  Adults 

The  third  and  final  Ufe  of  Baptifm  is,  that 
Man  may  be  regenerated  •  in  which  Cafe  he 
is  baptized  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  or  with  Fire-; 
that  is,  he  is  admitted  into  Aflbciation  either 
with  the  Angels  of  the  Lord's  Spiritual  Kingdom, 
or  with  thofe  of  his  celeftial  Kingdom  ;  and 
after  Death  he  himfelf  becometh  either  a  fpi- 
ritual   or  a  celei'iial  Angel. 

Now,  whereas  thefe  three  Ufcs  follow  each 
other  in  Order,  and  join  with  each  other  in 
the  ultimate  or  laft  Ufe,  and  confequently  in 
the  Idea  of  Angels  cohere  together  as  one, 
therefore  whensoever  Baptifm  is  performed,  or 
read  in  the  Word,  or  named,  the  Angels  who 
are  prefent  do  not  underftand  Baptifm,  but  Re- 
generation. Wherefore,  by  thefe  Words  of  the 
Lord,  "  Whofoever  believeth,  and  is  baptized, 
fliall  be  faved, "  is  underftood  by  the  Angeli 
in  Heaven,  that  whofoever  acknowledgeth  the 
Lord,  and  is  regenerated,  will  be  faved.  Be 
it  known  therefore  to  every  Chriftian,  that  who- 
foever doth  not  believe  on  the  Lord,  and  keep 
his  Commandments,  cannot  be  regenerated, 
notwithstanding  his  having  been  baptized ;  and 
that  being  baptized,  without  Faith  in  the  Lord, 
is  of  no  Avail  ;  for  Baptifm  itfelf  neither  giv- 
eth  Faith,  nor  Salvation,  but  is  a  Teftimony 
to  fuch  as  are  baptized,  that  they  may  receive 
Faith,  and  that  they  may  be  faved,  if  they  are 
regenerate. 

«f  After  which  the  Minlfter  is   to  fay, 
Let    us    pray. 

A  LMIGHTY  and  everlafting  Lord,  our 
XjL  heavenly  Father,  who  in  thy  Word  doft  in- 
iavitc  all  Men   to  come  unto  thee,  that  the/-

dom, we  beieech  thee,  favourably  to  receive 
this  Perfon  now  to  be  baptized  \  admit  him  into 
the  Feliowihip  and  Communion  of  thy  New 
Church,  embrace  him  with  the  Arms  of  thy 
Divine  Mercy,  and  give  thy  Holy  Spirit  unto 
him  ;  that  being  enrolled  by  Baptifm  among 
the  Number  of  thofe  who  acknowledge  the 
DIVINITY  of  thy  HUMANITY,  and  who 
rejoice  in  the  Glory  of  thy  Second  Advent,  he 
may  hereafter  deny  himfelf  and  take  up  his 
Croft,  by  refifting  the  Loves  of  Self  and  of 
the  World,  and  finally  through  thy  Affiftance 
overcome  all  the  Powers  of  Darknefs.  Amen,

<5  After  which  the  Mmijler  is  to  read  as  fellows  ; 

the  People  fitting, 

THE  Holy  Supper  was  inftituted  by  the 
Lord  himfelf,  for  the  Purpofe  of  maintain- 
ing thereby  a  Communion  betwixt  his  Church 
and  Heaven,  and  of  Confequence  betwixt  his 
Church  and  Himfeif.  It  is  therefore  the  mod 
facred  -and  folemn  of  .all  Worfhip.  How  fuch 
'Communion  is  effected  by  Means  of -the  Lord's 
Supper,  is  incomprehenfible  to  thofe  who  are  un- 
acquainted with  the  internal  or  fpiritual  Senfe  of 
.the  Word  ;  for  their  Conceptions  .are  terminated 
in  the  external  or  literal  Senfe,  and  cannot  pene- 
trate beyond  it;  whereas  it  is  by  the  fpiritual 
Senfe  only,  that  the  Ufes  and  Benefits  of  the  holy- 
Supper  can  be  truly  difcerned.  And  as  the  New 
•Church,  meant  by  the  New  Jeruialem  in  the 
Revelation,  is  now. about  to  he  eifahiiihed  by  the 
Lord,  wherein  God  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy 
Spirit,  are  acknowledged  as  Gne,  becaufe  they 
are  in  ONE  PERSON,  therefore  it  hath  pleated 
the  Lord  at  this  Day  to  reveal  the  fpiritual 
Senfe  of  the  Word,  and  together  with  it  the 
£)oclrine  of  Correfpondencies,  to  the  Intent 
*hat  this  New  Church  may   be  admitted  int« 


J 1  The  Holy  Supper 

the  real  Ufe  and  Benefit  of  ths  Sacrament  of  the 
Holy  Supper  ;  which  Intent  is  fulfilled,  when 
the  Members  of  this  Church  perceive  with  their 
Spiritual  Eyes,  that  ii,  with  \heir  Underfland- 
ings,  the  Sanctity  therein  concealed,  and  apply  it 
to  themfelves  by  thofe  Means  which  the  Lord 
hath  taught  in  his  Word. 

Hear  therefore  the  Doctrine  of  the  Lord  con- 
cerning his  Flefh  and  his  Blood,  and  concerning 
Bread  and  Wine :  "  Labour  not  for  the  Meat 
which  perifheth,  but  for  that  Meat  which  endur- 
ethunto  everlallingLife,  which  the  Son  of  Man 
will  give  unto  you.  I  am  the  Bread  of  Life  ;  he 
that  cometh  unto  me  mail  never  hunger,  and  he 
that  believeth  in  me  mail  never  thirft.  I  am  the 
Bread  which  came  down  from  Heaven.  If  any 
Man  eat  of  this  Bread,  he  (hall  live  for  ever  ;  and 
the  Bread  which  I  will  give  is  my  Flefh,  which  I 
will  give  for  the  Life  of  the  World.  Verily,  ve- 
rily I  fay  unto  you,  Except  ye  eat  the  Flefh  of 
the  Son  of  Man,  and  drink  his  Blood,  ye  have 
no  Life  in  you.  Whofo  eateth  my  Flefh  and 
drinketh  my  Blood,  hath  eternal  Life,  and  I  will 
raife  him  up  at  the  laft  Day  \  for  my  Flefh  is 
Meat  indeed,  and  my  Blood  is  Drink  indeed. 
He  that  eateth  my  Flefh,  and  drinketh  my  Blood, 
dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him." 

By  Flefh,  Blood,  Bread,  and  Wine,  in  a  na- 
tural Senfe,  is  meant  the  Paflion  of  the  Crofs,  in 
Remembrance  of  which  they  were  to  be  received; 
wherefore  the  Lord  laid,  when  he  inftituted  this 
Supper  as  a  Conclufion  of  the  Jewifh,  and  a  Be- 
ginning of  the  Chriftian  Paifovcr,  "  Do  this  in 
Remembrance  of  me."  In  a  fpiritual  Senfe,  by 
Flefh  and  Bread  is  meant  the  Good  of  Charity, 
and  by  Blood  and  Wine  the  Truth  of  Faith ; 


In  the  New  Chunh.  73 

and  in  a  fupreme  Senfc  the  Lord  himfelf  with. 
Refpeft  to  the  Divine  Good  of  his  Love,  and  th& 
Divine  Truth  of  his  Wifdotn.  <  By  Flefti  and 
Blood  are  alfo  llgnified  the  Divine  Good  and 
Divine  Truth  contained  in  the  Holy  Word :  And 
by  Eating  and  Drinking  thereof  is  fignined  Ap- 
propriation, and  fpiritual  Nourimment. 

Since,  therefore,  the  Holy  Supper  includcth  and 
containeth  in  it  the  Lord,  his  Divine  Good,  and 
his  Divine  Truth,  it  follows,  that  it  alfo  includ- 
cth and  containeth,  both  univerfaily  and  particu- 
larly, all  Things  relating  to  Heaven  and  the 
Church  ;  and  whereas  the  Lord's  Flefh  fignifies- 
the  Divine  Good  of  his  Love,  and  his  Blood  fig- 
nifies  the  Divine  Truth  of  his  Wifdom,  it  is  e- 
vident  that  the  Lord  is  completely  Gmniprefent 
in  the  Holy  Supper,  both  as  to  his  Divinity,  and 
as  to  his  GLORIFIED  HUMANITY;  con- 
fequently,  that  in  this  Sacrament  there  is  a  fpi- 
ritual Eating  and  Drinking,  whereby  the  wor- 
thy Receivers  are  admitted  into  the  Lord's  Body, 
which  confifteth  of,  and  is  formed  by,  Heaven 
and  the  Church. 

When  Man  is  regenerate,  the  Lord  is  indeed 
prefent  with  him,  and  by  his  Divine  Operation 
prepareth  him  for  Heaven  ;  neverthelefs,  in  or- 
der to  his  actual  Admiffion  therein,  it  is  expedi- 
ent that  Man  mould  a&ually  prefent  himfelf  to 
the  Lord  ;  and  whereas  the  Lord  doth  a&uallj 
prefent  himfelf  to  Man,  Man  ought  actually  to 
receive  him,  not  indeed  as  he  hun£  on  the  Crofs, 
but  as  he  now  is  in  his  GLORIFIED  HUMA- 
NITY, in  which  he  is  Omniprefent ;  and  the 
Flefh  of  this  Humanity  is  Divine  Good,  and  it's 
Blood  is  Divine  Truth,  which  are  given  to  Man* 
S 


74-  The  Holy  Supper 

and  by  which  Man  is  regenerated,  and  is  in  the 
Lord,  and.  the  Lord  in  him.  Thus  Eating  and 
Drinking  are  Acts  of  a  fpirituai  Nature; 
and  thus  the  Holy  Supper  becomes  a  Signing, 
Sealing,  Certifying,  and  Witnefling,  even  be- 
iore  the  Angels,  that  the  worthy  Receivers  there- 
of are  the  .Sons  of  God,  and  moreover  as  a  Key 
to  their  Houfe  in  Heaven,  where  they  (hall  dwell 
to  all  Eternity.

faying, 

Let  us  Pray.

Mankind,  and  by  the  Aflumption  and  perfect 
GLORIFICATION  of  thy  HUMANITY, 
didft  overcome  all  the  Powers  of  Darknefs,  and 
thereby  refcue  us  from  the  Jaws  of  eternal  Death; 
■who  didft  alfo  in  thy  holy  Gofpel  inftitute  this 
moft  facred  and  folemn  Ordinance,  in  perpetual 
Commemoration  of  thy  Victory  over  the  Hells, 
and  the  Accomplidiment  of  Redemption,  by  the 
full  and  perfed  Union  of  DIVINITY  and  HU- 
MANITY in  ONE  PERSON  ;  confecrate  we 
Jiumbly  befeech  thee,  with  the  Prefence  of  thy 
DIVINE  HUMANITY,  thefe  natural  Ele- 
inents  of  JBread  and  Wine,  that  they  being  re- 
ceived by  our  Bodies  in  the  Spirit  of  Love  to 
Thee,  and  Charity  towards  our  Neighbour,  we 
may  at  the  fame  Time  with  our  Souls  feed  up- 
on that  Divine  Good  which  is  thy  Flefti  and 
Body,  and  that  Divine  Truth  which  is  thy  Blood.

■t  Cat.     Repeat  the  Articles  of  thy  Belief 

JL  I  believe  that  Jehovah  God,  the  Creator 
of  Heaven  and  Earth,  is  one  in  Eflence  and 
in  Perion .in  whom  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  confid- 
ing of  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Spirit,  and  that  the 
^STa  and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrifi  is  that  God. 

I  believe  that  Jehovah  God  himfelf  came  down 
from  Heaven  as  Divine  Truth,  which  is  the 
Word,  and  took  upon  him  Human  Nature,  for 
the  Purpofe  of  removing  Hell  from  Man,  of  re- 
ftormg  the  Heavens  to  Order,  and  of  preparing 
the  Way  for  a  New  Church  upon  Earth  ;  and 
that  herein  confifts  the-true  Nature  of  Rcdemp-

tion,  which  was  effected  folely  by  the  Omnipo- 
tence of  the  Lord's  Divine  Humanity. 

I  believe  in  the  Sanctity  of  the  Word,  and 
that  it  containeth  a  three-fold  Senfe,  namely,  Ce- 
leftial,  Spiritual,  and  Natural,  which  are  united 
by  Correfpcndences  ;  and  that  in  each  Senfe  it 
is  Divine  Truth,  accommodated  refpe&ively  to 
the  Angels  of  the  three  Heavens,  and  alfQ  to 
Men  on  Earth. 

I  believe  that  Evil  Actions  ought  not  to  be 
done,  becaufe  they  are  of  the  Devil,  and  from 
the  Devil. 

I  believe  that  good  Actions  ought  to  be  done, 
becaufe  they  are  of  God,  and  from  God  :  And 
they  fhould  be  done  by  Man,  as  of  Himfelf  ; 
neverthelefs,  under  this  Acknowledgment  and 
Belief,  that  they  are  from  the  Lord,  operating 
with  him  and  by  him. 

I  believe,  that  immediately  on  the  Death  of  the 
material  Body,  (which  will  never  be  re-aiTumed} 
Man  rifes  again  as  to  his  fpiritual  or  fubftantial 
Body,  wherein  he  exifteth  in  a  perfect  human 
Form  ;  and  mat  thlis  Death  is  only  a  continual 
tion  of  Life. 

I  believe  that  the  Laft  Judgment  is  accom- 
pli (lied  in  the  Spiritual  World,  and  that  the  for- 
mer Heaven  and  the  former  Earth,  or  the  Old 
Church  are  paiTed  away,  and  that  all  Things  arc 
become  New. 

I  believe  that  Now  is  the  Second  Advent  of  the 
Lord,  which  is  a  Coming  not  in  Perfon,  but  in. 
the  Power  and  Glory  of  the  fpiritual  Senfe  of  his 
holy  Word,  which  is  Himfelf.  And  I  believe 
that  the  Holy  City,  New  Jerufalem,  is  now  de- 
fending from  God  out  of  Heaven,  prepared  as  a 
Bride  adorned  for  her  Hufband.

Secondly y  That  his  holy  Word  is  the  Fountain 
of  Wifdom  both  to  Angels  and  Men.

and  be  miferable  to  all  Eternity, 

4>.  What  doft  thou  mean  by  the  New  Church, 
or  New  Jerufalem  ?  . 

A.  By  the  New  Church  I  mean  a  new  Mam- 
feftation  of  Divine  Goodnefs  and  Truth,  in  the 
Unfolding   of    the   internal  Senfe  of  the  holy 
Word,  whereby  I  may  be  more  immediately  con-

_    A.  In  the  20th  Chapter  of  Exodus,  God  fpake 
all  thefe.  Words,  faying, 

[first   table.] 
I.   I  am  Jehovah  thy  God,  who  brought  thee 
out  of  the  Earth  of  Egypt,  out  of  the  Houfe  of 
Servants.      Thou  fhalt  not   have  other  Gods  be- 
fore my  Faces.    Thou  malt  not  make  to  thyfelf  a. 
graven  Image,  nor  any  Likenefs,  which  is  in  the 
Heavens  from  above,  or  which   is   in  the  Earth 
from  beneath,  or  which  is  in  the  Waters  from 
under    the  Earth.     Thou   fhalt  not   bow  down 
thyfelf  to  them,  nor  ferve  them  ;  for  I  Jehovah 
thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  vifiting  the  Iniquity 
of  the  Fathers  upon  the  Sons,  upon  the  third  and 
fourth,  to  them  that  hate  me  ;  and  mewing  Mer- 
cy unto  Thousands  to  them  that  lore  me,  and 
keep  my  Commandments. 

II.  Thou  fhalt  not  take  the  Name  of  Jehovah 
thy  God  in  vain  ;  for  Jehovah  will  not  render

thy  Work.  And  the  feventh  Day  is  a  Sabbath 
to  Jehovah  thy  God.  Thou  (halt  not  do  any

thy  Man- Servant,  and  thy  Maid-Servant,  and* 
thy  Beaft,  and  thy  Stranger  which  is  in  thy 
Gates.  For  in  fix  Days  Jehovah  made  Heaven 
and  Earth,  the  Sea,  and  all  that  is  in  them,  and 
re/ted  in  the  feventh  Day;  therefore  Jehovak 
Weflfcd  the  Day  of  Sabbath,  and  fanftified  it.

continually  all  Evils  as  Sins  againft  him,  to  re- 
nounce the  Loves  of  Self  and  ei  the  World,  and 
to  love  the  Lord  above-all  Thing,  and  my  Neigh- 
bour as  myfelf. 

4>.  Art  thou  able,  of  thine  own  Strength,  to 
do  this  ? 

A.  No  ;  but  by  the  Divine  Mercy  of  the  Lord, 
and  his  continual  Affiftance,  I  truft  I  mail  be 
enabled  to  love  and  obey  him  all  the  Days  of 
my  Life  :  And  therefore  I  offer  up  my  Prayers 
unto  him,  agreeable  to  his  holy  Wrord,  in  the  fol- 
lowing  Manner  : 

Our  Father  who  art  in  the  Heavens  J  Hal-

Thy  Will  be  done,  as  in  Heaven,  fo  alfo  upon 
Earth.  Give  us  this  Day  our  daily  Bread.  And 
forgive  us  our  Debts,  as  we  alfo  forgive  our  Debt- 
ors.  And  lead  us  not  intoTemptation,  but  deliver

us  from  Evil :   For  thine  is  the  Kingdom,    and 
the  Power,  and  the  Glory,  for  Ages.     Amen. 

£K  How  many  Ordinances  hath  the  Lord  ap- 
pointed in  his  Church  ?  • 

.  A.  Two,  Baptifm  and  the  Holy  Supper, 
which  are  the  two  Pillars  of  Heaven  and  the. 
Church. 

Q  What  is  the  Ufe  of  Baptifm  ? 

A.  There  are  three  Ufes  in  Baptifm.  The 
"firft  is  Introduction  into  the  Chriltian  Church, 
and  at  the  fame  Time  Infertion  among  ChrilH- 
ans  in  the  Spiritual  World.  The  fecond  Ufe  is, 
that  the  Perfon  baptized  may  know  and  acknow- 
ledge the  Lord  and  Saviour  Jefus  Chrift,  and 
follow  him.  The  third  and  laft  Uie  of  Baptifm 
is,  that  Man  may  be  regenerated. 

j^.  Does  Baptifm  itfelf  confer  either  Faith  or 
Salvation. 

A.  No :  It  is  only  a  Sign  that  the  Perfon  bap- 
tized may  receive  Faith,  and  that  he  may  be  lav- 
ed,  if  he  is  regenerate. 

J§>.  What  is  the  Ufe  of  the  Holy  Supper  ? 

A.  Bread  and  Wine  in  the  Holy  Supper  re- 
prefent  the  Divine  Good  and  Divine  Truth 
of  the  Lord's  Divine  Humanity;  which  being 
received  in  Charity  and  Faith,  are  productive  of 
actual  Conjunction  with  him,  and  more  immedi- 
ate Communion  with  the  Angels  of  Heaven. 
Thus  Eating  and  Drinking  are  Acts  of  a  Spiri- 
tual Nature  ;  and  thus  the  Holy  Supper  becomes 
a  Signing,  Sealing,  Certifying,  and  Witnelf- 
ing,  even  before  the  Angels,  that  the  worthy 
Receiver  is  a  Child  of  God  ;  and  moreover,  as  a 
Key  to  his  Houfe  in  Heaven,  where  he  fhali 
dwell  to  all  Eternity.

PREFACE; 

O    R 

An  Addrefs  to  all  thofe  who 
have  received  the  Dodrines 
of  the  New  Jerusalem. 

Beloved  Brethren,. 

AS  it  hath  pleafed  the  Lord  Jefus  Chrift,  our 
only  God  and  Saviour,  to  form  the  New- 
Heavens,  and  the  New  Earth  (or  Church)  fo 
much  fpoken  of  in  his  holy  Word,  and  alio  to 
communicate  unto  us,  his  unworthy  Servants,  in 
fome  good  Meafure,  the  Knowledge  of  the  Doc- 
trines, Truths,  and  Glories  of  his  New  King- 
dom ;  together  with  the  great  and  unfpeakable 
Mercy  of  being  admitted  into  the  Gates  of 
the  holy  City,  to  enjoy  the  Goods  and  Truths, 
the  Bleffings  and  Felicities  of  this  his  New 
Church  ;  it  furely  becomes  our  Duty,  and  ought 
to  be  our  conftant  Delight,  to  celebrate  his 
Praife. with  all  the  Powers  of  our  Mind,  in  a  ho- 
ly, fpiritual,  zn&xacceptabk  Marnier,  according  to 
his  Word.  Now  it  is  well  known  to  you, 
that  although  there  are  many  Compofitions  and 
Colie&ions  of  Pfalms,  Hymns,  and  Songs,  writ- 


XXXVI  P    R    I     FACE. 

ten  by  very  refpeelable  Characters,  who  poflefTed 
the  Genius  and  Talents  of  the   Poet  ;  yet  none 
of  thofe  Compofitions  or  Collections  are  adapt- 
ed to  the  New  Church,  nor  are  they  confident 
with  the  genuine  Doctrines    and  Truths  of  the 
holy  Word  ;  moft,  or  all  of  them,  being  formed* 
according  to  the  prevailing  Do&rines  of  the  Chrif- 
tian  Church  in   it's   fallen,   corrupted,  and   per- 
verted State.     J  (hall  not  take  upon  me,  in  this 
Addrefs,  to  point  out    the  Falfrs,  and  Errors   of 
Dsfirine%    with    which   thofe    Compofitions    a- 
bound  •  as  I  prefume  they  are  pretty  well  known 
to  my  Brethren  of  the  New  Church,  to  whom 
thefe  Lines  are  addrefteCh     Suffice  it  to  fay,  that 
the  Idea  of  Three  Perjons  in  the  Trinity,  confe- 
fjuently  of  Three  'Gcas,  runs  through  the  Whole 
of  thofe  Compofitions  "  and   with   this    general 
and  leading  falfe  Doctrine,  are  connected  all  thofe 
other  Falfes,  which   have   vaftated   the   Church, 
fuch  as    Predeftination,    imputed  Ri;_hteotifnefs,. 
Atonement   of  Wrath,  JuiHfuation  by  Faith  al- 
hne,  C5V.   tsfc.    C5V.      Moreover  the  Hvmns  and- 
Songs  now  in  Ufe,  mult  be  very  exceptionable  to- 
thinking,  judicious    Mtrafs    for  another  Reafonr 
said  that  is,  that  they  abound  fo  much    with  /V~ 
iiilcns   and   Prayers,  and    nany    other    Subjects 
Ojtute  improper  for  public  Singing,  and  inconfiil- 
t:.nt  with  Praife  and  Thankigiving.    From  thefe 
Gonfiderations,  (and  more  which  might  be  offer- 
ed)   the  Members  of  the  New    Church   can  by 
no,  Means   ufe    the  Publications  now   extant,  in 
their     religious    Services.      In   Confequence    of 
which,   and  at    the    RequHt   of   my    Brethren'* 
I  have  attempted  to    compote  a  frriall  Volume  of 
Pfalms  and  Hymns  adapted  to  the  rr'  'rrr    Di&» 
peu&iion,  and  confident  with  the  Doctrines  and 


Preface.  Ixxxis 

Truths  of  the  holy  Word,  according  to  it's  true, 
internal,   and  fpiritual  Senfe. 

How  far  I  have  fucceeded  in  this  Attempt, 
I  leave  ta  the  impartial  Judgment  of  my 
Friends:  I  can  only  fay,  that  I  have  been  par- 
ticularly careful  to  keep  clofe  to  pure  Truth, 
according  to  my  Knowledge  thereof ;  and  alfo,  to 
avoid  as  much  as  pofiible  whatever  is  petitionary, 
ox  prayer -wife,  with  every  Subjc£t  that  is  im- 
proper for  Praife,  Thank/giving  and  Glorification.  • 
And  as  I-  can  truly  fay>  I  did  not  take  up- 
on me,  nor  proceed  in,  this  Work,  without 
afking  Direction  and  AfTiftance  from  the  Lord 
our  God,  who  alone-can  give  Wifdom  to  Man  ; 
fo  I  do  humbly  hope,  the  Work  will  not  only 
be  acceptable,  but  really  ufeful,  to  thofe  Societies 
and  Perfons  by  whom  it  may  be  ufed.  The 
true  and  living  Members  of  the  New  Church 
are  really  principled  in  Love  to  God,  and  Cha- 
rity to  Man;  and  under  the  Influence  of  this 
Principle,  they  will,  as  our  enlightened  Author 
fays,  w  be  careful  to  obferve  the  Ceremonies  of 
"external  Worfhip,  in  frequenting  the  Church,- 
"  in  partaking  of  Sacraments,  in  hearing  Ser- 
"  mons,  in  repeating  Prayers,  and  other  Things 
'•of  a  like   Nature,  which  they  will  do  with 

"  MUCH      DILIGENCE      AND       ATTENTION."" 

Therefore  in  Tinging  Praifes  to  the  Lord,  as  v/ell 
as  in  every  other  Act:  of  public  Worfhip,  thev 
will  doubtlefs  have  a  fingle  Eye  to  the  Glory  <k 
God,  and  the  mutual- Edification  of  each  ether. 
Hence  the  more  confident  With  the  Doctrines 
and  Truths  of  the  holy  Word,  thofe  Hymns  and 

M 

*  Arcana  CcehJHa,  n.    1175% 


xc  Preface. 

Pfalms  are,  which  they  fing  ;  the  more  accept- 
able to  the  Lord  will  their  Service  be,  and  mutu- 
al Edification,  Comfort  and  Pleafure,  be  the  more 
promoted. 

I  would  likewife  indulge  the  Hope,  that  the 
following  Composition  will  be  found  entertain- 
ing and  beneficial  to  Chriftians  in  a  more  private 
Way  ;  and  be  calculated  to  relieve  and  exhilarate 
the  Mind  in  the  Hour  of  Temptation,  and  the 
Seafon  of  Trial,  Conflia,  and  Trouble.  And 
perhaps  it  may  be  produ&ive  of  much  real  Good, 
for  Parents  and  "Heads  of  Families  to  have  this 
Jitt'e  Volume  of  Hymns  in  their  Houfes,  for 
the  Infpedion  and  Perufal  of  their  Children  and 
Servants,  that  thereby  their  young  Minds  may 
bepkafn^lyhd  into  the  Knowledge  of  the  eflential 
Doctrines  and  Truths  of  the  New  Church. 

As  to  thole  religious  Characters  who  are  con- 
firmed in  the  long  received  Principles  and  Doc- 
trines of  the  Chriftian  Churches,  of  whatever 
Denomination  they  maybe,  I  do  not  expect  that 
this  little  Volume  will  meet  with  a  favourable  Re- 
ception anion gft  them.  Neverthelefs  I  would  re- 
queit,  that  they  will  not  haftily  condemn  ;  but  ra- 
ther examine  for  themielves,  thofe  Writings 
which  are  too  -frequently  announced  to  the  World, 

BY  THOSE   WHO    HAVE     NOT  READ     THEM,    as 

the  Works  of  a  Madman  :  I  mean  the  Writ- 
ings of  the  Hon.  Emanuel  Swedenborg  ; 
who  is,  (I  am  -free  to  fay)  in-  my  humble  Opi- 
nion, \\\t  faithful  Servant  and  Scribe  of  the  Lerd 
to  Mankind,  in  thefe  laft  Days.  By  a  Perufal  of 
thofe  Works,  they  will,  at  leaft,  be  led  to  fee  the 
Doctrines'  and  Sentiments  confirmed  from  the 
holy  Word,  upon  which  thefe  Hymns  are  found- 
ed :  And  perhaps  their  Underflandings  may  here- 


Preface.  xci 

by  be  opened  to  fee  the  Truth  and  Importance  of 
thole  Dodrines,  which  they  now  explode  and 
condemn  as  unfcriptural. 

It  has  long  been  an  eftablifhed  Maxim  with  the 
Wife,  that    "  we  ought  t§  hear  before  we  judge." 
But  I  am  lorry  to  find,  in  the  preient  Inilance, 
this  good  Rule  To  little  regarded:   It  being  very 
common  with  many  in  our  Day,  to  judge  and  con- 
demn the  Writings  ol  this  great  Man,  although 
they  have  never  read  one  Volume  of  his  Works. 
Such  a  Conduct  rnuft  furely  refleft  upon  the  Up- 
riiihtnefs  and  good    Senfe  of  the  Perfon  who  is 
guilty  of  it, — I  wifhit  were  in  my  Power  to  pre- 
vail  upon  every  ferious  Mind,  to  fufpend  their 
Judgment  till  they    have  read  his  Writings,  and 
to  read  them  as  foon  as  poffible  ;  and    that  with 
an  earned  Deiire  to  know  their  own  Errors,  and 
to  receive   the  pure  -Truth  of   the   Lord   wher- 
ever they  find  it,  or  whoever  may  be  the  Inftru- 
ment  of  it's  Conveyance  to  the  Mind.     By  this 
Mean  they  would  put  themfelves   in  the  Way 
for  the  Reception   of  thofe  divine  Doctrines,  and 
that    heavenly   Science,  which  are  of  infinitely 
more  Value  than  Worlds  of  Gold  and  Silver. 

When  our  Divine  Lord  came  in  our  Nature  for 
the  Redemption  of  the  World,  how  few  received 
him!  How  many  defpifed  and  rejected  him! 
And  why  ?  He  (pake  as  never  Man  fpake  ;  he 
went  about  doing  Good  j  he  taught  the  effenti- 
al  Truth  ;  and  his  End  was  to  make  all  his 
Creatures  happy.  But  he  condemned  their  Evils, 
expofed  their  Life,  refuted  their  Traditions  and 
falfe  Do&rines,  and  called  them  to  Goodnefs  and 
Truth,  Love  and  Charity,  Faith  and  Obedience. 
Therefore  they  cried  out,  "  He  hath  a  Devil,  and 
is  mad;  why  hear  ye  him  ?"  And  what  was   the 


xoii  Preface. 

Confequence  of  their  Folly  and  Unbelief?  Why 
they  deprived  themfelves  of  Divine  Bleffings  ;  the 
Favours  of  the  Lord  were  communicated  toothers  ; 
and  to  this  Day  the  Jews  labour  under  the  fad 
Confequences  of  their  Forefathers'  Infidelity, 
and  confirm  themfelves  in  their  fpiritual  Captivi- 
ty, by  approving  the  Conduct  of  their  Predecef- 
fors,  and  by  a  continued  and  obftinate  Unbelief. 

May  the  Chriftian  World  learn  Wifdom  by 
their  Folly,  and  thankfully  attend  to  any  Meflage 
the  Lord  may  vouchfaie  to  fend,  let  who  will 
be  the  Mefienger  !  Emanuel  SwEDENBORGis 
either  the  Meifenger  of  the  Lord  to  .Mankind, 
as  much  as  John  the  Baptifl  was  ;  or  he  is  as  great 
an  Impoftor  as  Mahomet.  He  either  fpeaks  the 
Words  of  Truth,  and  heavenly  Wifdom  ;  or 
bath  a  Devil  and  is  mad.  Whoever  reads  his 
Writings  with  an  unprejudiced  Mind,  and  with  a 
iincere  Defire  to  reject  Error  and  receive  Truth, 
will,  I  am  perfuaded,  be  fully  convinced,  that  they 
are  not  only  rational,  learned,  arid great ;  but  that 
the  Author  was  taught  of  God,  peculiarly  called 
to  prepare  the  Way  for  the  Lord's  fecond  Advent, 
and  was  a  divinely  infpired  Herald  to  announce 
to  the  World  the  Coming  of  Jehovah.  From 
this  Conviction  it  is,  that  I  take  the  Liberty  of 
warmly  recommending  the  Writings  of  this  holy 
Scribe,  to  all  my  Friends  who  fhall  think  good  to 
purchafe  this  little  Volume  of  Hymns. 

And  may  the  Divine  BlefTing  of  the  Lord  Jefus 
Chrift,  who  is  God  over  all,  accompany  this  hum- 
ble Attempt  to  promote  his  Praife  ;  that  it  may  be 
really  ufeful  to  every  Society,  every  Family,  and 
every  Mind  by  whom  it  may  be  ufed  !  And  at  the 
fame  Time,  may  the  Lord  our  God  be  hereby 


P   IS.  F   A    C    I,  XClil

Nothing  efcapes  thy  piercing  eyes,

As  angels  in  the  world's  efteem  ; 
Yet  mould  our  fouls  be  vile  within,, 
Thou  feed  every  latent  fin.

The  chriftian's  honourable  name  ; 
But  when  his  fins  are  brought  to  light,. 
He'll  (land  a  monfter  black  as  night. 

4  One  latent  vice  we  would  not  hide, 
Hatred,  or  envy,  luft,  or  pride  ; 
But  gladly  all  our  fins  remove, 
And  live,  a  life  of  truth  and  love.
